Apple reopened all 42 of its retail locations in China on Friday after it was forced to close them last month due to the coronavirus outbreak, that according to Apple’s website.

Apple reopened all but four stores last week as the number of confirmed cases and deaths in the country began to subside. Last Wednesday, Apple began expanding its business hours at 19 locations and at least six stores returned to normal hours of operation. At that time, Apple had re-opened an additional 14 stores.
